Sure, let's clarify the situation. It seems you're trying to upgrade to Windows 11 but running into a secure boot issue. The BIOS indicates secure boot is enabled, your GPT partition is active, and in MSINFO32 it shows unsupported hardware. You've already checked the BIOS and tried disabling CSM, but only getting BIOS access. Your motherboard model is ASUS ROG Strix B450F with a Ryzen 3600 CPU, RX5700i GPU, 16GB RAM.

If you're still stuck, consider:
- Verifying the exact BIOS version and update path.
- Checking if your motherboard supports Windows 11 with Secure Boot disabled.
- Consulting ASUS support or a community forum for B450F-specific guidance.

I haven’t changed the drive yet, but I’ll check later. If you want to keep important files off the boot drive, it’s best to wipe the drive before installing a fresh Windows 10 setup or starting from scratch with Windows 11.

I typically rely on the second computer with Paragon Disk Manager to erase a drive, though you can remove every partition in the Windows 11 setup menu and then start fresh from there.

You could download Windows 11 and set it up yourself, but it might be more efficient to use the official installation process.

Retrieve information from the disk, switch BIOS to UEFI rather than CSM, boot Windows 11 from an USB drive.
